We have sailed on the Jade twice, once to Norway, and once to the Greek Islands. We really loved this ship and its crew. Tony, we love everything you do, but your ship and port videos are what we think you do best. Your joy of cruising and your curiosity make these videos compelling. And, they make us want to cruise more. Thank you!
We were on Anthem if the Seas back in April with our grandchildren. They had a penny crusher at the entrance to one of the dining rooms. It required three $1 coins, which we didn't have. We tried the casino and guest services, and they didn't have them either!! So, we mentioned it to our maitre de in our dining room. He and our head waiter fixed us right up!! They got my grandson the souviner flattened penny and some foreign coins he could have also. It just shows how the crew will bend over backward to help you out!!
I cruised on this ship back in 2011 to the Mediterranean when it was only 4 years old. Loved this ship and its size. It's one of 4 Jewel class ships in the Norwegian fleet. The other 3 are, the Jewel, Gem and Pearl. Just the right size of ship. Only 2,394 passenger capacity. The shows are great, and it doesn't seem to be that crowded. Love the buffets, the main dining rooms and the specialty restaurants. You don't have to reserve a spot to see the shows. You just go to them and enjoy. You can walk all around the ship on deck 7 or walk next to the jogging track on deck 13. Great views and good exercise.
You were working very hard. Great Stirrup Cay and Ship Tour filmed the same day! Great video! Brings back memories on her. Loved the outdoor seating for the Great Outdoors! Kudos to NCL for maintaining an older ship!
I love a mega regga walking talking cruise ship tour! Seeing all of the venues and all of the decor helps me imagine what it would be like to be on board! All that walking and talking is a lot of effort on your part, but it is very much appreciated! Hope I get to see you on the Lido one day.
Tony, you are the best at bringing us the port and cruise ship tours because you make us feel as though we are walking alongside you. I sailed on Norwegian Sun to Alaska in 2005 and loved that ship, especially the outside promenade deck that the newer ships don't have. I wish the cruise lines would build ships to cater for those of us who prefer this sized ship with the traditional design.
Congratulations Tony on the recent steady growth in the total of your subscribers. I note that few of your fellow “Cruise Bloggers” are able to do the same. You are way more entertaining and personable. It is a formula that others must envy.
Great video on this ship 👍🏽A lot of review videos don’t show the smoking areas and it is an important thing for people who smoke. I go on Ncl a few times a year and they have changed the smoking policy on a few ships.The Joy has one small area by the pool right next to the kids pool it makes no sense.They stopped smoking on the rear left in H2O2.The casino has the glass box.The breakaway still has it in H2O2 as well as by the pool.The Prima has one small area outside very small.Thanks again for the video 💎👍🏽
I am a big fan of the jewel class ships on NCL. Lots of great specialty dining for a midsize ship, very manageable size for someone who's maybe not as fry and energetic as he used to be, and great bathrooms even in the interior cabins. The great bathrooms in the standard cabins, with the three zones and private toilet, and the fluffy friendly shower, you can find any non- suite cabin. Also, like you showed us today, lots of cool little private areas and dead ends and one-offs of spaces where you can find really cool stuff.
The Jade is a favorite. It’s so classy, and I love the layout. The only 1% I don’t adore, are the two areas for the shower and toilet room. Very tight and confining.
This reminded me of the Jewel ship I was on through the Panama, all those outside viewing areas are so nice in warm weather cruises when a cruise is spending a day in something like the Panama. I went on the Dawn last fall through the Suez, it’s not as nice as the Jewel and Jade. I love the Great outdoors area, sat there almost every night, eating, drinking and watching sail away or the sunset. And the Spinnaker is beautiful for views from the inside. I’m going on the Sky this fall, it looks to be quite similar in design so I’m looking forward to that. I love these mid size ships. Thanks for the video, I will be keeping Jade in mine for a future cruise.
Love it! My wife and I got married in Santorini during a cruise on the Jade last October! Brought back many good memories with friends and family. Thanks for all your videos.
Tony, we went on the Norwegian Sky for our 50th anniversary last December for a 10 day cruise out of Miami. Though it was an older ship and smaller ship, we absolutely had a great time.
A few years ago my father treated me to an Alaskan cruise on the Jewel. I loved it and am so excited to take my husband. However, they switched ships and moved the Jade in to take the Alaskan run. My husband and I are loving the pre-look at our ship. Getting SO excited.
Hey Tony Great ship tour, I really like the older ships on NCL,MSC and Royal Caribbean. They all seem to have the open deck that you can walk completely around the outside the ship and the outdoor seating at the café on the Fantale /stern of the ship.
If the ship is well maintained and renovated now and then, it could still be very desirable. My first cruise was on the Norwegian Spirit and I still have very fond memories of it.
My mothers’ dream had always been to go to “Hiwaya”❤. In 2007, I chose to be brave 😉, and took her (77 at the time, along with my granddaughter at 7) to Hawaii on the Pride of Hawaii (now the Jade). Although it seemed like I had taken 2 children at times, it was so much fun, beautiful, and such a blessing to enable my mother to see the only place I ever really heard her talk about hoping to see before she died. What an Adventure, and we loved the ship AND loved Hawaii. Ship looks very different now though. Thanks Tony for another great video! Glad Ms. Jenny was able to join you!
Hi Tony. Watching this tour has brought back memories of being on the dawn. I did the penny pincher machine one time. Didn't think anything more about it. We were stopped getting off the ship and told to go to guest services. There was a fee for that coin that had to be paid... Who knew. 😂 . Oh the memories of the dial on the cabin door. Great tour. As always thank you for all you do
We have been on the NCL Dawn & Sun which are about the same size and we loved both, we have also been on the Encore & Joy and loved them too. On the Encore & Joy we were lucky enough to be in The Haven, which was really special.
We were on the Jade over 4th of July week as you posted this video. It was a perfect reintroduction to cruising. Itinerary adjusted to avoid a hurricane and still had a great time
Thanks Tony, I just saved this for my NCL section. That way I can go back and look for research. We LOVE the smaller ships. LOVE the areas in the "Spa" for the library and game room. Do you happen to know if they have charging ports if you want to get some work done in either of those rooms in a quiet environment? The "mega" ships are not for us. Much appreciated.
I was on the Jade last month and loved it. I spent most of my time on the promenade deck, the deck above the pool deck and at The Great Outdoors. I had an enclosed balcony which I really liked. Great cruise that stopped at Curacao, my favorite island. All around, fantastic cruise.
Tony always have a good presentation all the time very specific, not in a hurry, taking his time. I always watch his channel. Thank you Tony the Gentle Giant. My next NCL Jade cruise is on May 2025 Norway.
Another smaller (even if older) ship fan. Enjoyed 14 nights to S Caribbean out of Tampa; we had a 7-night set of menus repeated the second week. The lounge venues for trivia are so much better than using the Atrium on the Joy & Encore.
Thanks Tony for sharing this video with us and I really like the NCL Jade. We really like these walking tours that you do!! Gives us the feel of the ship love it!❤ give my best to Jenny. Thanks again.🛳️🦩⚓️💐🇺🇸 and have a happy Fourth of July🎉🇺🇸
I love NCL ships. My next cruise is May 2025 on the Breakaway. Your tour of the Jade shows just how similar most of their ships are designed. Thanks, happy cruising.
Thank you, Tony. 🙌 You do the best tour vids. This is a very helpful tour. I'll be on the Jade for my 1st cruise in November. I'll be watching this again, several times - and maybe I'll actually be able to find my way around.
I love the ship tours! I’ve never been on an NCL ship and I’m really impressed with the Jade. It’s small but has enough places to eat and drink as well as a nice library and card room. I also liked the lounge at the top with all the windows. We like to sit in there on the Royal ships and read or just watch the sea. I also like the lounge chairs on the promenade deck for the same reason. I like the decor too. Guess I’ll have to book a cruise on her! Thanks Tony!
Ship looks great for an older ship. I sale RCCL more often than NCL lately. Small item that I noted. Room phone on the wall. So much better than on the end table where it takes up way too much valuable space!
I'm in the West Palm on the east coast. Thank you for making these videos. This ship tour was nice and informative. I haven't been on a cruise in years and am way overdue for one. Keep making great content.
Been on the Jade maybe twice and the Gem definitely twice all back in the later 2000's. The rooms are ready for a refurb. I did love the Mini suites as they hade more room in the living room and a decent sized couch and the baths had a tub shower combination which was nice.
We have sailed on the Jade twice, once to Norway, and once to the Greek Islands. We really loved this ship and its crew. Tony, we love everything you do, but your ship and port videos are what we think you do best. Your joy of cruising and your curiosity make these videos compelling.

"Porthole Face!" was my favorite part of this tour!

Great tour. I am a fan of the older ship designs. I know it's a dream but I wish they would return to the smaller ships with classic designs.
I agree 👍 💯

Sailed on Jade a few times, one of our favourites.
Those hidden spots higher up are the best place to find a quite lounging spot on a sea day.
Great video on this ship 👍🏽A lot of review videos don’t show the smoking areas and it is an important thing for people who smoke.

The age of the ship doesn't worry me, the hostility of the crew does!!!
I’ve sailed on the Gem, and Jewel, sister ships to the Jade. I do enjoy the smaller ships.
I love the smaller ships. Thanks for the tour.

I enjoyed this tour so much. The Jade was my very first cruise ship back in 2016. It brought back great memories. Need to cruise on her again I think.
Going on the Jade next month. Thank you for the tour. I’m so excited.
The Jade is a favorite. It’s so classy, and I love the layout. The only 1% I don’t adore, are the two areas for the shower and toilet room. Very tight and confining.
Este será mi primera vez en el crucero Jade y estoy bastante impactado por los videos que he visto hoy y por loscomentarios que ya han viajado!!!

Tony, we went on the Norwegian Sky for our 50th anniversary last December for a 10 day cruise out of Miami. Though it was an older ship and smaller ship, we absolutely had a great time.
My first cruise was on NCL Gem which is same class as Jade…. I kinda love the smaller and more “mature” ships
My first cruise was the jem as well!
Looking forward to seeing the Jade in September
I was on the Jade in Greece and Santorini out of Venice in 2015. Looks the same. I very much enjoyed the trip.
Great tour, thank you. We are sailing on the Jade to Canada in September and I’m even more excited now. I’m glad you and Jenny had a great time.
A few years ago my father treated me to an Alaskan cruise on the Jewel. I loved it and am so excited to take my husband. However, they switched ships and moved the Jade in to take the Alaskan run. My husband and I are loving the pre-look at our ship. Getting SO excited.
Thanks Tony for the tour we will be on the Jade on July 13th and it was great to see.
Hey Tony

If the ship is well maintained and renovated now and then, it could still be very desirable. My first cruise was on the Norwegian Spirit and I still have very fond memories of it.
I believe the Jewel class boats of NCL are the most beloved. They were / are what old school cruises are all about

Sailed on the Jade in 2017. This brings back memories
We have been on the NCL Dawn & Sun which are about the same size and we loved both, we have also been on the Encore & Joy and loved them too. On the Encore & Joy we were lucky enough to be in The Haven, which was really special.
Thank you for the Jade tour Tony. After watching it last night my husband and I have decided to book a trip on it
Loved the daily walk abouts! The ship itself looks great. We like that NCL still has cloth napkins and tablecloths, it's the small details.
I’ve had 20 nights on the Jade …. It’s a nice , comfortable, smaller ship that has been well maintained……….Very nice crew also
Jenny B, the best part of the cabin tour!
We've cruised on her several times . Perfect size.😎👍
We were on the Jade over 4th of July week as you posted this video. It was a perfect reintroduction to cruising. Itinerary adjusted to avoid a hurricane and still had a great time
I've been waiting on the ship tour for the past week. Thanks for sharing.
Love the ship and port tours. Great job. Thank you for taking us with you.😊
Thank you Tony. I did the Jade in March and did not mind walking through it again with you. You do a fantastic job. We love the size of the ship.
Great ship tour!!
did the Jade last year to Israel - great cruise - classy ship - I like the split shower / toilet areas in the staterooms
I was one of the crew members that brought out the ship as the Pride of Hawaii as part of the entertainment crew
Thanks Tony, I just saved this for my NCL section. That way I can go back and look for research. We LOVE the smaller ships. LOVE the areas in the "Spa" for the library and game room.

I didn’t see charging ports. They may have them but I didn’t look.
Thanks for the tour we go on the Jade Aug 2024
I was on the Jade last month and loved it. I spent most of my time on the promenade deck, the deck above the pool deck and at The Great Outdoors. I had an enclosed balcony which I really liked. Great cruise that stopped at Curacao, my favorite island. All around, fantastic cruise.
Thanks to your trip and now the tour, this ship is HIGH on my list of "wanna sailings". Love her!
I'll be sailing on this ship next month.
Tony always have a good presentation all the time very specific, not in a hurry, taking his time. I always watch his channel. Thank you Tony the Gentle Giant. My next NCL Jade cruise is on May 2025 Norway.
I love the Jade! I've been on her twice, and will be on her again in January/February. Thanks for a nice tour, Tony. 🙂
Another smaller (even if older) ship fan. Enjoyed 14 nights to S Caribbean out of Tampa; we had a 7-night set of menus repeated the second week. The lounge venues for trivia are so much better than using the Atrium on the Joy & Encore.
great video, enjoyed the beautiful ship. so cool...
Great tour! Anyone know if there’s a place to buy the NCL Ports of Call board game they had in the cards room?
Great tour Tony, loved it.
Great content - made me want to book a Jade cruise 💖
Lot of memories on NCL Jade! Thank you!
I love this ship and sailed on Jade in 2018, from UK to Norway. Very nicely refurbished ship. Friendly staff and nice programs! ❤
Thanks Tony, first time on Jade on the 12th, looking forward to it now
Thanks Tony for sharing this video with us and I really like the NCL Jade. We really like these walking tours that you do!! Gives us the feel of the ship love it!❤ give my best to Jenny. Thanks again.🛳️🦩⚓️💐🇺🇸 and have a happy Fourth of July🎉🇺🇸
This ship tour was fun and informative. More please!
Great video. Cant wait to sail her in July!
Very nice older ship lots of interesting places on board . I love that buffet in the rear of the ship
Enjoyed the tour with your nice soothing voice 😊
Tony...you do a most excellent ship tour. Keep it up, in addition to the news, of course!
I love NCL ships. My next cruise is May 2025 on the Breakaway. Your tour of the Jade shows just how similar most of their ships are designed. Thanks, happy cruising.
Thank you, Tony. 🙌 You do the best tour vids.
This is a very helpful tour. I'll be on the Jade for my 1st cruise in November.
I'll be watching this again, several times - and maybe I'll actually be able to find my way around.
It is nice of you to do the tour, always nice to see the smaller older ships, I prefer the smaller newer ones but would still sail on a older one.
I just got off the Jade June 8!

Yes I do enjoy this type of video

I really enjoy your ship tours. Was on the Jade in jan. and this brought back good memories.

Love the tours. Great time to explore and quietly enjoy the ship. Thank you
Love the ship tours, Tony.
Thanks! Appreciate the tour.
Thanks Karen
Love seeing the ship tours! More would be nice ;)
I'm in the West Palm on the east coast. Thank you for making these videos. This ship tour was nice and informative. I haven't been on a cruise in years and am way overdue for one. Keep making great content.
We were on her in 2016, loved the size, much better than the big mega ships, so much more intimate. I can imagine she likely needs an update though!
Going on her in October! Thanks for the tour
Love the tour!!!
Love the cruise ship tours. Please do more!
She seems to have been well taken care of! Your videos from this sailing make me want to try out NCL.
Our favorite size ship. Love NCL!
Thanks Tony! Great job. I look forward to going on the Jade this Saturday!
Thanks Tony, the ship looks nice. NCL is my favorite cruise line
I’m taking this ship in Febaury
Yes. Love these types of videos. Please keep them coming. Like seeing a variety of cruise ships. Thanks again.
Great video, Tony. Getting on the Jade July 6th. Can’t wait to explore the ship. This video helps.
I enjoyed your tour of the jade!! My first cruise was on the ncl starward back in 1984!!!!
Been on the Jade maybe twice and the Gem definitely twice all back in the later 2000's. The rooms are ready for a refurb. I did love the Mini suites as they hade more room in the living room and a decent sized couch and the baths had a tub shower combination which was nice.
I'm about to book the Jade as my first NCL voyage. I'm really hoping I don't feel like I missed out not going on a larger ship.
My first cruise was on its sister ship the Pearl. Loved that ship even though the layout was a little less organized than their newer ones.
I am sailing on the NCL Gem for the Headbangers boat :) We have done 2 other NCL ships for motorboat and megacruise! Both were great! Loved your tour!
We took a 10 day cruise from NYC on sister Gem 2 years ago. I really like the smaller ships.
Tony, I have one of the Britto statutes I bought from Park West on a cruise. I love it.
